Nothing special, just commercial match ammo intended for law enforcement sales/use and is no longer offered by Winchester.
Comparable to LC M852 match, also loaded with 168 BTHP's manufactured by Sierra.
LC M118 Match and LC M118SB were loaded with 173gr FMJBT's and the current LC M118LR uses Sierra 175 BTHP's.

Thanks VH to the normal shooter this is run of the mill gear but as they are not manufactured anymore from a collection point of view they are worth keeping and not sending down the range to cut paper.
Again I reiterate in Aus we see very little of what's available in the world and West Aus were I abide is worse off ask most East coasters when asked where Perth is (W.A's capital) in Australia and you get the deer in the headlights look.

Here's a thing I had buried under a swag of 303 bandoliers the round on the Rt is a Boys .55 AT the Left round is a steel case and AP prac round from a Leopard tank like I said it is really strange what we collect.
Just thought I would share as some people may never see one complete I am still after one of the Brass cases I know where there is two but he will never part with them.... drats
Also I did manage to procure a 5" shell casing from one of the Swan class destroyers Australia had before they went to Davey Jones locker as dive wrecks.

I had two brass cases recovered in Gagetown after a Leopard 2 shoot. They lay out for the winter in the field and I had to wait until I had a course shooting out there to go retrieve them...too heavy to keep forever, I sold them to a dealer in Fredricton...sorry...they were perfect and weighed a ton...

That Winchester .308 was quite plentiful here in Canada and we have found it pretty accurate. Have a few hundred rounds left, use it sparingly now as we have many other choices for everyday use. Have never shot it past 300 yards but out to there is performs very well.

Will ask a cop I know if they still get it or what they are presently using.
